Tips and tutorials for GIS and Remote Sensing…

About

This blog contains tips and tutorials on the tools and techniques we use as part of our research, which focus on remote sensing of vegetation. Many of the tools we use day to day we’ve developed ourselves (see software page) or have been developed by our collaborators (e.g., RIOS, TuiView) so a lot of posts will be about these. As a lot of time in remote sensing research is spent on data preparation tasks we’ll also include some useful bits of general computing we use, generally for UNIX-like systems such as Linux and OS X.

(This means it is OK to copy and past original or modified posts to use as part of training notes or your own website for any purpose, including commercially, as long as you attribute spectraldifferences / the post author.)
